@Amol, you should refer upsc.gov.in, get a copy of the syllabus, purchase 70-80 books in total for Prelims and Mains. Subscribe to 4-5 newspapers, 4-5 monthly magazines. Read everything and prepare your own Notes. Attempt lots of mock tests. Everything I said, needs to be planned well, executed well and completed well before the Prelims. So I suggest at least 450 days preparation for UPSC.

@Sam, here it is. For example, UPSC Pre GS Paper I, there are 100 questions and 200 marks so each question has 2 marks. For EACH wrong answer, 0.33% of 2 marks i.e. 0.66 marks will be cut for THAT wrong answer. For cut-off, wait for few days, we will post it here.

@Bhausaheb, don’t even try to attempt at UPSC without completing degree, you will loose chances as there is limit on attempts at UPSC CIvil Services exam. Prepare now for next 2 yrs and attempt the exam during final year of your degree.
